Okay remember awhile back I was to be president for the next 2 yrs for our county orchestra parents organization?
Well, after NYC, I am definitely resigning before I even begin.
Here's the deal, 4 girls plus my daughter under me. I literally took them everywhere on Friday, left our school groups and took them downtown by ourselves, met the others in Chinatown, shopping for hours...one of the other chaperones is Chinese and she and I were taken to the Chinese Purse people--not the ones that all of the others went to but a really freaky place--way off the beaten path--yeah--you know the ones your government tells you to steer clear from?? Then we split from that group again and shopped all over 5th Ave.
HERE THE ENTIRE TIME, INCLUDING THE CHINESE PURSE PEOPLE, 2 OF THE GIRLS WERE SHOPLIFTING!!! Even the daughter of the Chinese chaperone said, "It's stupid enough to steal, but you DON'T steal from the Chinese purse people--they're Chinese Mafia."
The one girl even stole a sweat shirt right in front of my eyes in Little Italy--I saw her take off the tags and I said her name and she said she had already paid for it.
Then the next day, at Ellis Island, the girls acted bored as all get out and just wanted to go to the gift shop--you know what they wanted--by then I knew what they were doing, but didn't want to say anything because they might take it out on DD since she had told me in the morning at breakfast. But then they ditched me and her--just left without saying a word. After about 15 minutes, I called the one's phone and told them to get up there immediately and where we were I then proceeded to yell at them when we left the room about how I was the chaperone in place of their parents and they could have enjoyed the history because it was all of their histories but they were making it boring by just sitting on the floor and benches.
Then they went to tattle on me to the conductor--I don't know what was said, but I told him what they had been doing and his response was, what do you want me to do about it? They didn't get any reprimand--all of the chaperones are furious.
So for the rest of Saturday and Sunday, I ended up with the vacation that we chaperones who had been told repeatedly that we were not on vacation because we were chaperones.
Oh and one fantastic thing about the whole trip was DD and another girls are huge Cake Boss Fans so me and the other chaperone found out that his bakery was only 2 miles away. So...if you ever see an episode where he says anything about 2 buses pulling up from West Virginia and having to make 87 cupcakes--that's us. They were filming and he and Frankie were in the windows waving. I didn't realize my friend was in the store, and I was trying to get her to get a shirt for a girl that hadn't got one and she pulled me in and I got to take a few pics with my phone. Smelled unbelievable.
So for anyone who was in the line outside that day...Sorry! But it was freakin hilarious the way our conductor just got off the bus, bypassed the line and walked in the store and was able to get the cupcakes. REALLY cool.
Another kid from our trip will end up President some day--he walked past the line because he said he was applying for a job and got the most delicious smelling application ever. And the kid is only a freshman.
One of the college brothers of a freshman said when we said we were going to cake boss, "Who is Cake Boss?" He said later that he felt like the kid on Sand Lot when he said, "Who is Babe Ruth?"
And DD decided that in 2 yrs when it's time for the Disney trip for orchestra that she will not go because, it would be the same deal and she doesn't want to ruin her memories of Disney....I agree.

That really IS un*******believable!!!! You are way better off with this crap behind you. The conductor needs to be reported for his behavior in all of this. Seriously.
...without us.
